Chapter 70: Choosing a Side

Nangong Nuo'er looked at the distant backs of Lin Yinan and Lu Zhiyuan, and her gloomy eyes were full of hatred and disgust.

Lin Yichen didn't pay attention to Nangong Nuo'er's words, but looked at Lin Yixiang and talked to him about another thing.

"It's not suitable for me to have too much contact with the people of the Blue Netherworld, so I'll leave this matter to you. I know that you have always had a good relationship with the Liu family before, go and ask what happened to that Liu Yiyu, and then tell me. ”

Lin Yixiang and Liu Yiyu were a little greasy, and Lin Yichen also knew a little bit about it. However, at this time, he did not say anything, but stopped at the point. First, I was afraid that Nangong Nuo'er would make a fuss and ruin a big deal. Second, he also hopes to let Lin Yixiang know the way, he doesn't know everything.

"Understood." Lin Yixiang responded softly, Liu Yiyu's matter, even if Lin Yichen didn't say it, he planned to find out. Although he entered the palace early today, he has never had a chance to get close to Liu Yiyu. I never thought that Liu Yiyu would appear again in this capacity, remembering the feeling he felt when he first learned of her death, Lin Yixiang suddenly realized that it had been so long since Xia Yao's death.

Lu Zhiyao and Lin Yinan went all the way back to the house, and neither of them said anything more. When he walked into the courtyard where the two lived, Lin Yinan sighed lightly, attracting Lu Zhiyao's attention.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhiyao turned his head and asked suspiciously.

Lin Yinan's expression was a little unhappy at first glance, staring at Lu Zhiyao for a moment, Lin Yinan said, "You are very wrong today." ”

Lu Zhiyao's body stiffened, was she so obvious?

Lin Yinan took Lu Zhiyao's hand and walked into the room, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw that the door on the left hand side was open, and the bright moonlight illuminated the room without lights.

Lu Zhiyao turned around and closed the door, and followed Lin Yinan into the room. Standing at the door, watching Lin Yinan light the candle, he sat in the corner of the wall, not thinking about leaving. Lu Zhiyao thought about it, walked over, sat down beside him, glanced at the piano in front of him, and asked softly, "Want to listen?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Yinan nodded happily, sat on the ground, leaned against the wall, and silently looked at Lu Zhiyao's cautious expression because he was a little scared.

Lu Zhiyao's reaction made a faint smile appear in the depths of Lin Yinan's eyes, but because of the darkness in the room and Lu Zhiyao's current weakness, she couldn't find it at all. Still thinking about what Lin Yinan had just said to himself outside, Lu Zhiyao sat up straight and raised his hand to touch the strings.

Lu Zhiyao couldn't deny that her heart became irritable because of Liu Yiyu's appearance. This also reminded her of some things from before, with Liu Yiyu's and Lin Yixiang's. Therefore, when facing Lin Yinan, she will be a little weak-hearted, after all, her identity and the past with Lin Yixiang, Lin Yinan is clear. But now, she didn't want him to know that at all.

Both of them remained quiet, the sound of the piano sounded, and Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's eyes with burning eyes, and the strand of hair that slipped to his ears.

His thoughts drifted back to many years ago, when he and Lin Yixiang were still living in the palace, and that person was still alive.

Her piano is the same as Lu Zhiyao, she plays it very well, at least it sounds like Lin Yinan. It's a pity that more often than not, she can only play the piano to the two of them. Because of her life experience, she is not liked by Lin Yunlong. Lin Yinan thought that maybe the main reason why Lin Yunlong married his mother and trapped her in the harem was because he could better control her, so as to prevent her from causing any turmoil in a place where he couldn't see.

At that time, the country of Charais was not as calm as it is now. The remnants of the previous dynasty would still get together occasionally, but they would soon be suppressed by Xia Zhenkun and Nangong Lingfeng.

Then......

Then.

More and more memories poured into Lin Yinan's mind, and he had to stop himself in order to maintain his usual calmness.

Lu Zhiyao didn't know how long it had been playing, but when she looked back at Lin Yinan, she found that he had closed his eyes and was sitting there against the wall with steady breathing, and she didn't know if he was asleep.

The sound of the piano slowly eased and stopped at the end of the day. Lu Zhiyao leaned sideways and looked intently at Lin Yinan's handsome facial features. Slowly, his hand lifted up somewhat uncontrollably, brushing his eyebrows and nose, and then paused for a moment, not daring to continue to descend to the slum, and was about to retract it.

The fingers that slipped into the air were unexpectedly grabbed by Lin Yinan.

"Far away, I won't be able to bear it if you do this."

Lin Yinan's smiling voice sounded, and Lu Zhiyao's face suddenly turned red, and he reflexively got up and wanted to escape.

Forgetting that his hand was still held tightly by Lin Yinan, Lu Zhiyao's body fell down with Lin Yinan's slight force, and he lay in his arms a little embarrassed.

Looking at Lin Yinan's starry eyes, Lu Zhiyao was speechless for a while. Thinking of her stupid move just now, she longed to find a hole in the ground to get into.

Lin Yinan looked at Lu Zhiyao's embarrassed expression, but still didn't say anything. Seeing that Lu Zhiyao was slowly becoming a little annoyed, Lin Yinan took her to stand up and said softly: "Look at me for so long, you have to give something in return." ”

Lu Zhiyao had already reached the throat, so he was pressed back by Lin Yinan, lowered his head and let Lin Yinan lead her back to the inner room, and when the house became pitch black again, and Lin Yinan pressed her body, Lu Zhiyao reacted in hindsight, what was the return that Lin Yinan said......

I didn't sleep well all night, and Lu Zhiyao's body was so sore that he couldn't get up in the morning. Fortunately, Lin Yinan woke up before her and had already left, Lu Zhiyao hurriedly got dressed and ran out of the room, only breathing a sigh of relief after seeing that the courtyard was also empty.

"Ma'am, you're awake."

When Wanyue came from outside, she saw Lu Zhiyao standing at the door.

"Hmm." Lu Zhiyao watched Xuanyue walk in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "What did the Eighth Prince do, do you know the way?" ”

"He ordered me when he was leaving, let me tell you that he had entered the palace to fetch the princess, and that he might come back later, so that the lady would not have to wait for him."

"It's a good idea." Lu Zhiyao nodded thoughtfully, and as soon as he finished saying that he asked Wanyue to retreat first, he immediately repented and called her back. "Wanyue, wait until you go to Chu's house and call Chu Ziqian to me, I have something to look for him."

Wanyue left in response, Lu Zhiyao ate, walked around the mansion, and didn't wait too long before he saw Chu Ziqian reluctantly appear in front of him.

Chu Ziqian's eyes glanced around, and then he looked at Lu Zhiyao, who was sitting there leisurely, coughed vigorously, and asked, "The Eighth Imperial Concubine is looking for me, what's the matter?" ”

"Didn't I promise you before, it would give you benefits? Follow me to the Beauty Pavilion, and I'll find you a beauty. ”

Lu Zhiyao's words made Chu Ziqian stunned for a long time, and looked at Lu Zhiyao in disbelief, he didn't think that Lu Zhiyao would suddenly be kind, and he would be so good to himself for no reason. There are only two possibilities for what she said, one is a trap; The second is that she has other things to ask herself for help, and she is afraid that she will not agree, so she will give herself some sweetness first.

Chu Ziqian figured it out, chuckled, and asked, "If the Eighth Imperial Concubine has anything, just say it directly." ”

"It's nothing, I just want to keep my promise." Lu Zhiyao looked innocent, "If you don't want to go, forget it, but don't complain to me in the future." ”

Lu Zhiyao's attitude made Chu Ziqian feel more and more suspicious, and after looking Lu Zhiyao up and down several times, Chu Ziqian swallowed his saliva and shook his head.

"If you don't complain, you must not complain."

"That's good." When Lu Zhiyao heard Chu Ziqian say this, he smiled slightly, as if he had expected that this would be the result. "Let's go."

Lu Zhiyao let Chu Ziqian go so easily, so that when Chu Ziqian left with his back to her, he always felt cold behind him.

Lu Zhiyao watched Chu Ziqian go away, smiled meaningfully, and relaxed his muscles.

About half an hour after Chu Ziqian left, Lin Yinan came back with Lin Ruoxue. As soon as she left the palace, Lin Ruoxue became relaxed again, talking and laughing loudly with Lu Zhiyao, as if what happened at the banquet last night had never happened.

Lu Zhiyao took advantage of Lin Ruoxue's departure and asked Lin Yinan in a low voice, "Did Concubine Ning know about last night's incident?" ”

"Not only does she know the way, but even Lord Mu also knows the way." Lin Yinan said this, his expression was a little solemn. "I heard that the envoy of the Qing Netherworld will stay in the capital for a few days, I don't know if Lu Dao is the emperor's intention."

"The people of the Qing Netherworld are so difficult to deal with, and the emperor didn't think about the consequences if he left them by his side?" As soon as Lu Zhiyao remembered that not long ago, the people in the city died tragically because they were poisoned by those two people from the Qing Netherworld, and his heart was a little blocked.

His mind is not so easy to guess now. However, Mu Wang Ye and Concubine Ning will definitely not agree to him marrying Xiaoxue out of Lu. Far away, Lord Mu is very likely to find you and me this time, have you figured out which side you want to stand on? ”

Lin Yinan's meaning Lu Zhiyao understands that although she has done a lot of things with Lin Mubai, it is still very difficult to choose a position between Lin Mubai and the current emperor. Lin Mubai really came to the door, and they had no reason to refuse. But the relationship between Lin Yinan and the emperor made Lu Zhiyao have to worry.

Lin Yinan didn't want Lu Zhiyao to know too much about his poisoning, but there were some situations that Lu Zhiyao still knew in his heart. The emperor has always controlled Lin Yinan, which Lu Zhiyao knows very well. Lu Zhiyao also had trouble doing what to do to get rid of the poison on Lin Yinan's body. But after thinking about it, even Lin Yinan's master and Jian Yuheng had no choice, what could she do?

The lord of a country, where did Lin Yunlong get such a tricky and strange poison?
